actually orochimaru was a bit scared of manda.........bcz he was cold and deadly.manda will only fight for orochimaru if he gave him 100 peoples as a sacrifice in other words food............but the new manda which sasuke posses will allow sasuke to pet..........but sasuke is not a kind of guy who like pets......he he he ehe

True but when bạn consider the characters they 'served', to me anyway, each relationship seemed pretty appropriate. I can see Orochimaru snuggling much of anything even if Manda would have allowed for it. :)
